I ran out at noon today to pick up the PB tix for the people in the office pool. When I got to the gas station where I bought the tix, I opened the console of my car and was surprised to find an old T5 playslip. I have no idea how long it's been in there, or if I ever played those numbers.
I knew that playing those numbers wouldnt amount to much more than buying a QP, but I couldnt resist. I took it in the station and played it. Must be an omen or sumthin'........
But I also couldnt resist lookin' in A+ to see what A+ thinks of those numbers. A+ says they stink....... I wonder what made me like 'em way back when I colored in that playslip?

LOL...they could be lucky for you!!
Post em up, lets analyze them!!!
I got old cards all over the place.
When I go to the kitchen to make breakfast there is a playcard stuck to the fridge door, when i go to the garage there are some playslips on a shelf. When I go to the library, there are some playslips in my backpack.
Boy if i played every card i found, i would be broke. Well I mean "more" broke.
Good luck with your pool...
did you wheel your pool tickets or are you playing dumbpicks?

Believe it or not, I use a little bit of strategy for the office pool.
I pick the PB, and do partial QP's for the white balls.
We have enough players in the pool to generate enough lines that I can play almost every PB. Usually (but not always) that gives us two free lines the next time we play, because we won 4 bucks for having the PB. That does present a small problem though. The pool has been growing in popularity. Word has spread about it, and every few weeks or so, a new face approaches me asking if they can get in. I always say yes. That means the new guy/gal wasnt a member of the prior pool. So what I do if we win 4 bucks, is play four bucks on a separate ticket, and say those two lines were bought by the people who were members of the pool the last time we played. I make it clear to the new guy/girl, should lightning strike with either of those two lines, only the folks who were in the previous pool will split the prize.
As for the white balls, for each line, I do a partial QP. I pick a single digit number, and also a number in the forties or fifties. I let the machine pick the other three numbers.
Due to certain circumstances, and some time constraints, I have to collect money in the morning, and then go out at lunch time to buy the tickets. I then copy the tix and distribute copies to everybody who got in.
